53: Breakthrough to the fourth tier! Brother, are you a freshman?

After entering the villa using his wristband, Jiang Hao headed straight for the Cultivation Room.

[Ding! The Level 8 life crystal has finished charging, yielding a total of 20,000 points!]

He looked at the Jade Slip in his hand containing the Chaos Codex.

Although he didn't understand just how perfect the Perfect Conversion truly was.

As long as these 20,000 points made him stronger, it wouldn't be a loss!

“Perfect Conversion!”

“Boom!”

Jiang Hao's spirit seemed to fall completely silent, leaving his body.

“Where is this?” Jiang Hao asked in a void of the Star Domain.

He watched as stars extinguished one by one not far away.

Entire Star Domains directly dissipated.

A sense of the Silence of All Things and the Demise of All Things rushed toward him.

Chaos, desolation, void.

There was no sound, and he couldn't perceive up, down, left, or right.

Jiang Hao felt as if he was about to be assimilated by this space... Just then.

[Ding! The Perfect Conversion of the Chaos Codex is complete!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have gained a trace of the Chaos Law!]

[The Host has achieved a Breakthrough to Fourth Rank!]

Jiang Hao suddenly snapped back to his senses, panting and covered in sweat.

Less than a minute had passed in real time.

Yet, Jiang Hao's consciousness had spent at least several months in that place of Chaos and void!

Looking at the Jade Slip that instantly turned into powder and scattered, he complained:

“This is Perfect Conversion? If I didn't have the system panel, wouldn't anyone who tried this just die?”

“Also, this couldn't have been the original Jade Slip, right!”

Jiang Hao understood that the Xia Family hadn't intentionally tricked him; after all, the system panel could ignore all conditions and succeed directly as long as he had points!

This Chaos Codex probably has prerequisites that no one on the entire Blue Star could meet to successfully learn it!

Because... “Open the system panel!”

[points: 1354]

[Evaluation: If it's not off, it's on?]

“King Rank? Is this a Realm above 'Destiny Star'?”

“Adding physique and spirit together, I actually got 5 free points!”

“That's equivalent to getting 20,000 points for free!!!”

“Meaning my 20,000 points weren't wasted! Sweet!”

Jiang Hao looked contentedly at his luxurious system panel.

After thinking it over, he spent a thousand of his remaining points to increase his Realm:

[Realm: Fourth Rank, Third Heaven] +

He rubbed his stomach; although this round of upgrading didn't take long, he felt exceptionally hungry.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao had food prepared in his Storage Pouch!

While eating, Jiang Hao browsed the Shenzhou Martial Arts School's School Website.

People could post freely here, and former Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who had graduated would also post recruitment information.

[Shock! The Principal's Grandson Was Publicly Humiliated, Fainting From a Single Gaze From His Opponent!] — Luxury Fishing Gear Customization, please DM.

“Oh wow! I'm already in the Imperial Capital, and there's still a Shock Department!”

If Xiao Lizi hadn't posted photos yesterday of him, the Class Monitor, and a few Classmates eating late-night snacks in Yunxiao City.

Jiang Hao would have suspected that guy was specially recruited by the Shenzhou Martial Arts School!

He clicked on the post to see:

Today, the great Shenzhou Martial Arts School welcomes her new master—Junior Brother Xia Pengcheng!

This Junior Brother Xia was first savagely beaten by a gentle Junior Female Student, and then frightened unconscious by a single gaze from a Nameless Passerby!

(A close-up photo of the ragged Xia Pengcheng and the sharp-eyed Jiang Hao.)

It is evident what a good-for-nothing this Junior Brother Xia is; despite being of the same Rank, he was instantly defeated without even being able to retaliate!

Therefore, I strongly suggest kicking this good-for-nothing out of the Xia Nation Eight Heroes team!

Jiang Hao didn't understand, but Jiang Hao was greatly shocked!

Although one could use nicknames on this School Website, people often posted things that couldn't be said directly.

But the Xia Family has always been the power holder of the Shenzhou Martial Arts School!

Isn't this Senior Brother afraid of being Doxxed and attacked directly by the furious Xia Pengcheng?

Jiang Hao chose the nickname “Everyone But Me Is A Veteran” and typed his comment:

“Watching from the front row. Isn't the Poster afraid of being Doxxed?”

The others also commented one after another:

“This Poster is an Old Paparazzi; he always manages to take clear photos”—Are There Any Pretty Junior Female Students??

“+1. I was a Freshman when this Poster started posting gossip and slandering the school every day. Now I'm a Senior, and this Senior Brother still hasn't been caught!”—Slacking Salted Fish

“As expected of my Vice-Captain! I was only planning to shock him a bit, but you directly beat that good-for-nothing into the Infirmary!”—Feng Qiluo

“She likes Posting Online Using Real Name that much?” Jiang Hao speechlessly hit the follow button on the Poster.

He prepared to complete his daily task of “smurfing”... “Grandpa! You have to help me get justice! I didn't even say anything before I was knocked unconscious!”

Xia Pengcheng, his face pale, grabbed Principal Xia's clothes and spoke.

“How many times have I told you? Capable people should be low-key, and incapable people should be even more low-key!”

Principal Xia impatiently shook off his good-for-nothing grandson.

He then continued on the School Website, initiating a vote to revoke Xia Pengcheng's title as one of the Eight Prodigies.

“Go and retrieve the fish cage! There are four fish I painstakingly caught inside!”

“Ah!”

Xia Pengcheng was startled.

He quickly looked up at the sky to see if any unusual phenomena, like the Nine-Star Alignment, had appeared.

Xia Pengcheng said in disbelief:

“Grandpa, you actually caught fish? Didn't you always Strike Out before? You even started making your own smurfing gear, but still didn't catch anything.”

Principal Xia's face darkened.

Looking at this good-for-nothing grandson, he really wanted to slap him all the way to Jinsha Prefecture to count grains of sand!

Compared to the talented and polite Jiang Hao, the difference was a gap of two dimensions!

“Scram! Don't hold me up. Don't even bother going on stage for the Freshman Ranking Battle tomorrow, lest you embarrass yourself!”

Xia Pengcheng shouted defiantly:

“I may not be as good as Feng Qiluo, and I can't beat Jiang Hao, but I am still among the best of the Eight Prodigies!”

After speaking, he angrily carried the fish cage and left.

“My opponent tomorrow is probably that Little Imp from the Yu Family. I must definitely crush her then!”

In Xia Pengcheng's resolute eyes, the thirst for victory was revealed!

...“So slow! Why is the 5v5 Team Battle matching taking so long!”

Jiang Hao boredly looked at the word 'Waiting'.

After opening the Fourth Rank Area, Jiang Hao's rank dropped to Platinum I, full stars.

He had originally planned to quickly farm points by playing twenty matches a day, but in 5v5 Mode, he couldn't find a match even after ten minutes!

“Match successful. The battle will begin in 10 minutes. Team members, please vote for the battle map and spawn point!”

It's starting!

Jiang Hao and four other figures appeared in a place resembling a Conference Room. On the large screen in front of them were three maps for this battle.

creator mode + 5v5 Team Battle!

5v5 Team Battles outside of the Ten Great Martial Arts Schools are just super-large arenas, no different from the usual Solo Mode.

In the 5v5 Team Battles of the Ten Great Martial Arts Schools, one can choose a map and spawn point advantageous to their side!

Naturally, the opposing side will also choose a map. If both sides choose differently, the System will use the third map.

A Senior Brother who looked very experienced first revealed his personal information:

[Carrying Freshmen] Diamond V, Four Stars, Fourth Rank Peak, Senior

The other three also displayed their information one after another.

They were basically all around High Fourth Rank, either Juniors or Seniors.

Seeing the gazes cast by the other four, Jiang Hao revealed a smile on his face, which was covered in mist:

[I Dont Eat Beef] Platinum I, full stars, Fourth Rank, Third Heaven, Freshman

The expressions of the four Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters immediately froze.

“Fourth Rank?”

“Brother, you're a Freshman!?”
